Newbie just got an 8HD in need of reloading OS

[chazmuz]

Hey guys, newbie here. I need some advice on reloading the OS on my 8HD. I use a Mac G5 in my studio, but I'm wondering if I'm having a problem with reloading the OS because I should be using windows? Not sure.

I've had this board for a three or four months and haven't had the time to get serious with trying to figure out how to load the OS. It's practically brand new, hardly touched from the guy I got it from. Anyway, any advice appreciated!

Why do you think you have to "reload the OS"?

And Fusion works equally well with Macs as it does with Windows. I use Macs here.

There are some slightly different considerations with Macs compared with Windows but otherwise it's not a problem.

And why worry about OS updating and your computer platform - updating the OS is done from the CF card, not from the 'puter.
